Pastors Standing Firm is for spiritual leaders who desire to see the Church become everything that Jesus intended. "Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm." (Ephesians 6:13) We are in an age of deception that is creating a cloud of spiritual confusion and it’s seeping into the Church! We are lovers of truth seeking to purify the Church so we will be “zealous for good works.” (Titus 2:14) Join us for a weekly conversation about the Word of God, current culture, world news, end times prophecy and more.
In the first episode of our sophomore season, P Brian interviews Lance Ford, author of Unleader, The Starfish and the Spirit, and other books. Beyond that, he is a former pastor, church planter, teacher, and consultant. His humble, passionate, yet deeply thoughtful take on our unhealthy leadership obsession in the church leads to a conversation which left us hungry to get back to what the Bible teaches about church structure.
